Notes about this specification
2020-04-02: Version 1, Release 1 of the “distrib” specification has been officially accepted by the SBML Editors and publicly announced.
2012-08-06: Stuart Moodie released an updated version of the “distrib” proposal.
This page summarizes the current development status of the SBML Level 3 Distributions Package (known by the label “distrib”). If you use this Package in your work, please cite the publication associated with the package in addition to the core Level 3 specification, to give credit to the package developers.

About the schemas: for finalized Level 3 Packages, libSBML and JSBML provide built-in validation, and the use of a schema is unnecessary. For not-yet-finalized Packages and applications not using libSBML or JSBML, the basic RELAX NG schemas enable syntactic validation using an RNG schema processor. A separate page provides more information about the use of schemas.
